How to make cauliflower pakora or gobi pakora crisp at home? Here I have shared some tricks and tips to make perfect Gobi pakoda every time crisp just like shops.
Cauliflower pakora is a popular street style snack. It can be made from basic ingredients like cauliflower florets, gram flour, herbs and spices. Here we will make a thick coating batter with gram flour and rice flour. This combination gives extra crispness. Also fresh grounded masalas are added to the batter for extra flavor. To make pakora extra crisp I have fried these pakodas twice within the gap of 10 minutes. This is the secret that most of the recipes will not tell you.
Gobi pakora is an amazing evening tea snack and it tastes best with the chutney that I have included here. Gobi pakora is a gluten free recipe and it can be air fried like any other pakoras. I love street style pakodas a lot, but due to pandemic I prefer to make them at home. Also they guarantee me the freshness and better quality when I make these fritters at home. Specially during monsoon season, this is a must-try recipe.
Gobi is a very versatile ingredient I have posted other gobi recipe like Gobi Tikka Masala and Aloo Gobi. I have also posted other fritter recipes like Egg pakora, Aloo Pakora, Onion Pakora and many more. Do try them as well.
